BOOTHS CAPTOR.
The Man in Whose Arms Lin
coins Assassin Died.
He Tells the True Story of
Booths Death and Burial.

Edward P. Doherty, who is now an
Indian trader IN the Cheyenne river,
Dakota, held John Wilkes Booth in his
arms when he died. He was in command
Of the company which captured him.
Mr.. Doherty, the other day, told the
story over to the writer. He said:
Il was a lieutenant then in charge of
my company, and had been in hot pur-
suit of Booth ever since he rode from
Washington. We knew he was, or had
been in the neighborhood where we cap
tured him, but had no definite idea where
he was hiding. On the afternoon of
April rs, 1865, / was riding at the head
of the few soldiers with me, along a
country road, when by chance we met a
person who told us where Booth was hid
ing. We had already left the house five
or six miles in the rear. That night, or
rather next morning about 4 o'clock, we
surrounded the barn where he was con-
cealed.
1t wa a kind of tobacco house, and
rather small. OF course he was on the
alert and heard US closing in upon him.
We called upon him to surrender, but he
refused. Some one set fire to the barn
ard | rushed up to the door. Booths
companion came forward and surrendered
to me. At this juncture the soldiers
were closing in rapidly, and none too
soon, for Booth raised his gun to shoot
me when the report of Corbett's ri lie
rang out clear and sharp upon the morn
ing air. The actor fell forward as I
rushed to him and caught him in my
arms. The ball had penetrated his head
in almost the same spot where he had
shot Lincoln. I lifted him in my arms
and carried him out of the burning barn.
| spoke to him, but the only words he
uttered were: "Uselessl Useless!" ]
think he had reference to the surrender
of his companion and that he meant re-
sistance would be useless. He waved
his right hand when utt-iug the words
as if he would have his companion leavt.
He evidently believed him a traitor. He

ed during the past year must await
the action of Congress before they can
be paid. The Post Office Department
has examined and allowed several
thousand claims of postmasters, some
of which have been pending for years.
The claimants have been informed of
the allowance of their claims, and as
there is no appropriation available
for their payment the Department is
being flooded with letters from clai-
mants, each demanding the reason of
delay in the payment of his claim, and
it has been found necessary to issue a
circular letter explaining that the de-
lay in payment is due to the failure
upon the part Of Congress to provide
the necessary appropriation.

ITO TENNESSEE AFooT.,,

This is the title of an interesting
series of articles which THE SENTI-
MEL intends to commence publishing
soon. They are from the pen of Prof.
L. B. WURREscHKE, of Salem
Academy, who, in company with his
son, took the jaunt, about which he
has written so entertaingly.
1t will be noted that nearly all of
the articles which have appeared of
late years, descriptive of North Caro-
lima mountain scenery, have confined
their scope to Western North Carolina
apparently unconscious that the
North western part Of the State con-
tains some of the most sublimely
beautiful and picturesque scenery to
be found anywhere.
Prof WURREscHKE who has been
continental tourist on more than
one occasion, is an enthusiastic admir-
er Of the section about which he has
written and he asserts that some of the
scenery of North. Western Carolina
equals, if not surpasses, much OF the
sublime beauty of the Swiss Alps.
We bespeak for our readers a
charming series OF descriptive
sketches.

DRUMMERS' LICENSES.

The United States Supreme Court
on the 18th inst, rendered a decision
in case brought from Tennessee
which involves the right of one State
or municipality to impose a license
tax on drummers or travelling sales
men from another State seeking to
sell goods by sample or otherwise.
The decision is that such taxation is
an interference with Interstate COM
merce, and is therefore unconstitution-
al.
If we are not mistaken other decis-
ions of about equal emphasis have
emanated from the same august body,
and yet the tax is still imposed in
a number of States. The information
is already forwarded from Raleigh to
the effect that Treasurer Balm, until
the decision Of the United States Su-
preme Court, is fully investigated, in
tends to abide by the existing law Of
ILLS CCdte
THE SENTINEL has for years, main.
tanned that the tax was unconstitut-
ional and boomerang to the pros
perity of the State. We have claim
ed that it was unfair in that it not on
ly imposed an alleged protection to
home concerns, which the consumer
was taxed to provide, but it placed an
embargo upon infant industries in our
own midst.
The drummer tax has been remov-
ed in number of States to the unmis-
taxable advantage of the communities
as whole, as we'll as to the relief of
the persons specially interested. Re-
move every needless impeachment from
the way of a free interchange of COM
modities and trade becomes brisker
and the people more prosperous and
contented.
